  22. Order in the Classroom -Graham, K., Prigmore, E. (May/June, 2009). Leadership Kathleen Cotton (1990) summarizes it this way: “Effective managers teach behavioral rules and classroom routinesin much the same way as they teach instructional content, and they review these frequently at the beginning of the school year and periodically thereafter. Whether it’s kindergarten or 10th grade students, we cannot ever assume in school settings today that children arrive ready and willing to behave.”

  23. Order in the Classroom -Graham, K., Prigmore, E. (May/June, 2009). Leadership One of the major flaws in some classroom management systems is that the teacher gives numerous chances, requests or warnings – all of which waste academic instructional time. If all students are systematically taught through a direct instruction model how to follow classroom rules and routines, multiple warnings and repeated requests can be eliminated, thus saving valuable instructional minutes.

  24. Five Components of Time To Teach Self-Control Marzano (1993) described “withitness” as “maintaining an appropriate mental set…Carrying out the various aspects of classroom management without becoming emotionally involved or personalizing students’ actions” (p. 94-95)

  25. Five Components of Time To Teach Teach To’s An opportunity to teach our students how we want them to behave in our classrooms and in our school. As a team, WE MUST CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO LEARN.

  26. Five Components of Time To Teach Refocus Turning a disruptive moment into a learning moment. A “win-win” experience for both student and teacher a. Teacher continues teaching b. Students continue learning Q1. What was your behavior? Q2. What did you want? Q3. What will you do next time? Q4. Are you ready to return to the routine of the class?

  27. STUDENT SERVICES & SUPPORTJim Stewart, Pat Ajamian, Victoria Garcia, Mike MacNeill Reinforce Time to Teach model Reinforce school rules and Board policies, including Dress Code (See Parent Handbook) Oversee/Mediate Behavioral Issues, including conflict resolutions and Bully Contracts

  29. Five Components of Time To Teach Unconditional Positive Regard Caring is key and is driven by non-contingent interactions Building relationships is key to a positive and supportive learning environment

  30. Five Components of Time To Teach Classroom Arrangement JereBrophy (1996) commented that proper arrangement led to “…attention to lessons and engagement in academic activities” (p.5) “However, regardless of our situation, at least two factors remain constant: the physical design of your classroom must take into account both learning and behavioral consequences.”
